No go if the kABI has evolved. You can even rebuild a "fake" kernel
with a totally different version but nevertheless naming it with what
the module was targeted for or forcing CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y, but
sooner or later (quite sooner!), you'll get kernel panics, hard locks
and/or other unwanted reboots ;-)
